Spout assembly

Abstract

An improved structure of sprout assembly to allow it to be externally fixed to the faucet without welding and permit faucet and sprout to be plated first before connecting both to each other is characterized by that a connector in the faucet to engage a locking sleeve in the sprout, and a threaded tube being inserted through both of the connector and the locking sleeve.

I claim:  
     
       1. An improved structure of a spout assembly is essentially comprised of a faucet and a spout; wherein, a temperature control valve in shape comprising a bore inside the faucet being fixed in approximately at the middle section of the bore; a water outlet connected through the interior of the temperature control valve being provided at the outer circumference of the faucet in front of the temperature control valve; a cartridge stem extending upward from the upper end of the temperature control valve to control the mixing ratio of hot water and cold water inside the temperature control valve; multiple water inlets being provided at the lower end of the temperature control valve to introduce hot water and cold water into the temperature control valve for mixing at a controlled temperature; a water outlet being provided on the outer circumference at the front of the temperature control valve to deliver the mixed hot and cold water through the water outlet; an inwardly recessed cover in the same outer diameter as that of the faucet being fixed to the upper part of the cartridge stem to cover up the top of the faucet; a chamber being provided inside the cover; a screw being used to externally secure the cover and the cartridge stem: a threaded handle being externally screwed into the front of the cover; those water inlets being connected to multiple water pipes to introduce both hot water and cold water; a cartridge being screwed to the lower part of the faucet; and a packing being provided at where below the cartridge to support the faucet on a sink; a hollow, cylindrical connector being fixed on the inner circumference of the water outlet in the faucet female threads being provided on the inner circumference of the connector to engage a threaded tube and protruding forward with its outer circumference fixed at its rear to the water outlet; a groove being provided on its front circumference to receiver insertion of a O-ring; the tube related to a threaded tube provided with male threads on its outer circumference to be inserted through the connector; the rear end of the threaded tube being formed with a nut in diameter slightly larger than that of the threaded tube; the center of the threaded tube being made in hexagonal to permit use of a hexagonal wrench to fix the tube; the threaded tube after penetrating through the bore of the connector being screwed to a locking sleeve fixed at the rear in a spout holding against the outer circumference of the spout in relation to the faucet the sleeve related to a recessed hollow cylinder having its outer circumference fixed to the bore of the spout; female threads being provided in the bore of a hole on the outer circumference of the sleeve in the direction toward the spout to be locked into the outer diameter of the threaded tube; and the larger bore in the rear of the hole providing a mobile travel for the insertion of the outer circumference of the connector, characterized by that: when assembled, continuous spot welding of mechanical process being used to respectively fix the connector and the locking sleeve to the faucet and the spout before forthwith entering into the next plating process; and the threaded tube securing either manually or mechanically both of the connector and the locking sleeve; the connector and the locking sleeve being respectively fixed to the faucet and the spout by continuous spot welding before entering the plating process. 
     
     
       2. An improved structure of a spout assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, spot welding or ultra-sonic welding is used to fix the connector to the locking sleeve and the spout assembly to the faucet.
